Beauty testing: Hand care LeCorail from Guam

During the winter, I need extra hand cream protection. Especially if I travel, I may need to take a lot of pictures outdoors and I am not always prepared with the perfect gloves and thus, my hands are usually exposed to the cold.

For a couple of weeks already, I am constantly using LeCorail cream by GUAM and I am extremely pleased by the results. However, my first encounter haven't been unforgettable, as I did not like at all the smell, a bit too perfumed for my taste. But once I saw the effects on my skin, I try to ignore the smell and continue to use it. 

In addition, it not only moisturises, softens and protects the skin, but it also gives a certain shinning that I only have in the summer. This effect can be the result of having Corallina officinalis as one of the main ingredients. Corallina oficinalis is a calcareous red seaweed that helps to reinforce the moisture of the skin. Rich in carbonate and magnesium, it also protects the skin against the effects of the sun. 

There are long-term effects and thus, I don't need to use it more than once the day. 

It works for any skin type and for any age range. 

Lacote, the company that produces the cream and many other beauty care products, was created at the end of the 1980s. The main ingredient used is the seaweed, considered a very efficient natural base for many beauty and wellness recipes. 

Disclaimer: I was offered to test a hand cream by GUAM, but the opinions are, as usual, my own. 

The avocado for my hands

If I was able to survive for a couple of months without a proper face cream, when it comes to taking care of my hands, I can hardly live without a good one for more than 24 hours. One of the most serious reasons is that the water in Germany is not too much appreciated by my precious skin and without proper protection I start feeling more and more like a reptile. 

Another secret of mine is that I love avocado almost as much as olive oil. Nothing useful in such a revelation. Long time ago I used to chose the food because of the colour till I noticed that there it is not fashion week of the food. Similarly, there it is not a menu for cosmetics, theoretically. The difference may be that very often many of the good vegetables and fruits can produce beneficial effects to the skin. As someone that fought for a long time with allergies, I can testify this. 

After switching from Nivea products, I've found some consolation in the wonderful recipes of the Sea of Spa cosmetics and for over two years I am regularly using their avocado hand cream. I can't think ever changing it, as my hands look always delicate and velvet-like. There it is not a special smell and the cream is oily but instantly absorbed by the skin. I forget about applying a cream seconds after I used it and this is how I will define an almost perfect hand cream.
